Well I think that Docking Maneuvers is a hack so one shouldn't really be too
surprised if it didn't work 100%. These are all things that should work, but
are hardly vital issues.

My Location manager settings have never been messed with, BUT I have found
that if I manipulate Location while running Erage in Classic ("Offline"), I
cannot then change Locations (all in X) and still have Erage connect. I am
working on narrowing this down and will report when I can repro 100%.

One of the things I like the most about X so far is the OSX battery! I can
see it fine, even with my Dock icons set *very* small. Plus, I just hover
the mouse in order to see "Time remaining" so it comes up nice and big, very
easy on my eyes, even in bright light situations (e.g., outside at the pool!
;-).
